ner district is celebrated throughout 

 middle Europe and sells for better 

 prices in the large capitals than any 

 other. Some of it even finds its way to 

 this country, where it sells at fancy 

 prices. Long continued selection has 

 probably developed the special qualities 

 for which this variety is prized, and un- 

 der careless culture it will likely degen- 

 erate. Plants are still scarce in this 

 country, but are listed by at least one 

 seedsman. 



NEWPORT, R. L 



The Planting Season. 



Preparations are now under full head- 

 way for the summer, and florists and 

 jirivate gardeners are alike very busy ; 

 more so because of the unusuaJly cold 

 weather of April and the first week in 

 May. In fact, the weather is still cool 

 enough to prevent the planting outdoors 

 of many things that in ordinary seasons 

 would at this time have a good start 

 made in the ground. 



Careful observation of planting opera- 

 tions in this and other sections of the 

 Island warrant the opinion that, notwith- 

 standing the great run on evergreens dur- 

 ing the last few years, the planting of 

 deciduous trees is on the increase, with 

 Norway maples in the lead. English 

 lindens are scarce, in consequence of an 

 unprecedented >demand last fall, espe- 

 ciaJly for the larger size trees. 



The demand for herbaceous plants, so 

 called, is more pronounced than ever, 

 with evidences of a general knowledge 

 of what is wanted cropping up when 

 customers order fewer varieties and a 

 greater number of plants of those of un- 

 doubted merit from a viewpoint of prac- 

 tical utility. A few years ago surpris- 

 ingly few peonies were seen in the gar- 

 dens of Newport, considering how com- 

 paratively ancient a great many of these 

 gardens are. Within a year v~.r two quite 

 a large number of the beautiful things 

 have been planted here, for the gratifica- 

 tion principally of those cottage owners 

 who come in time to see them at their 

 best, and also for the pleasure of those 

 who pop in once in a while on flying vis- 

 its before they come for the season. By 

 the way, the lateness of the opening of 

 the Newport season has been mainly re- 

 sponsible for the neglect of many mer- 

 itorious plants by the craft here. 



Arbor Day. 



Arbor day wa.s observed in the public 

 schools by literary exercises and in a 

 still more appropriate manner by the 

 planting of numerous trees in various 

 parts of the city and in the laying out 

 and allotment of school gardens. These 

 gardens will be of much more than usual 

 interest to both teachers and pupils this 

 year, by reason of the liberal cash pre- 

 miums offered by the Horticultural So- 

 ciety for those that will in the opinion 

 of competent judges be justly entitled 

 to awards as a result of the painstaking 

 industry of the little gardeners. The 

 superintendent of schools was this week 

 the recipient of a huge bundle of sched- 

 ules of premiums to be awarded at the 

 June exhibition of the Horticultural So- 

 ciety. It is supposed the purpose for 

 which the secretary of the society in- 

 tended these was to inform the pupils of 

 the school garden prizes, as well as 

 the fact that numerous prizes will^be 

 awarded to the children for cut flowers
